There's no photo/video pit and the press box doesn't exactly provide the greatest view. They'd really have to remodel the place to make it happen. It's tough enough getting still photos...

I'd like to see how Matt Tuiasosopo is progressing, watch Clement *after* he returned to Tacoma to see how he responded to being sent down, see if OFlaherty has any chance of coming back, check out the next prospect Bavasi is going to ship-out for some fading 36-year-old hack, etc. I would like to see every Mariner affiliate, or at least be able to get a package to watch “the future”.

That's why I said "so far this year." I don't think anyone thinks <a href="http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/index.php/run-lance-run" rel="nofollow">Berkman</a> is going to keep up his pace either. I was remarking on what I was remarking on, nothing more. Sure, sure. That’s why I said “so far this year.” I don’t think anyone thinks Berkman is going to keep up his pace either.

Go to any AAA club and you will find no-glove non-prospects that could put up a career .277/.323/.426 line.
